Work Manager

A Work Manager defines a set of request classes and thread constraints
that manage work performed by WebLogic Server instances. This page
displays the global Work Managers, request classes and thread constraints
defined for this domain.

Global Work Managers are defined at the domain level. You can also
define application-level and module-level Work Managers.

WebLogic Server lets you configure how your application prioritizes the
execution of its work based on rules you define and by monitoring actual
runtime performance. You define the rules and constraints for your
application by defining a Work Manager and applying it either globally to
a WebLogic Server domain or to a specific application component.

Thread constraints define the maximum number of threads to allocate for
requests, the minimum number of threads to use for resolving deadlocks,
and the total number of requests that can be queued or running before
WebLogic Server begins rejecting requests.

J2EE applications, Web application modules, EJBs, and RMI applications
can specify a named Work Manager to use for managing their work
requests.
